Cameos of Caring® Award Recipients

Award Recipients

Cameos of Caring^® award recipients are recognized as role models within their facility and beyond. Each facility selects their award recipient. These individuals:

Demonstrate a commitment to consistent, proactive clinical decision-making and excellence in nursing care
Serve as an advocate for patients and their families
Serve as a role model – encouraging and motivating other healthcare professionals

Individuals recognized within the specialty categories (Advanced Practice, Case Manager, Donate Life, Lifetime Achievement and Quality & Safety) are nominated by their facility. Designated committees select a limited number of award recipients for these areas.
